lawsuit honda shadow?
« on: November 19, 2006, 08:05:36 AM »
I was on a gig last night, and was talking motorcycles with the singer. He said that he used to own a Honda Shadow that was a 'lawsuit' model. They only made this particular model for 3 years. Harley Davidson sued Honda, and voila, the model disappeared.

What exact model was this? Collectible?

Urban myth. The closest 'copies' to the HD are the Kawasaki Nomads.

Hardly did try to copy right their sound.  I thought the biggest reason was the yami warriors as arent they push rod also?    They all are trying to copy the look.
